    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    That card is a "1990 Topps Prequel"

    Back in 1990, Topps made cards of players depicted in their new teams 10 years later (i.e., 2000), and thus, that's why you see Griffey Jr. in a Reds uniform. Also, Topps decided to get rid of the Jr. designation, since after 10+ years in the league, he's no longer a Jr.!

    He also has a "1990 Topps Baseball card #353 Sandy Alomar - Padres / Error card no JR listed". I need some Glasses Focusier to view it properly, though.

    Going through this person's cards for sale raises SO many questions about how he/she thinks.

    For example:
    Why are there 3 different auctions featuring a lot of 1990 Skybox cards, but yet a separate auction for a single 1990 Skybox Mitchell Wiggins?

    Why is Cal Ripken's 1990 Topps card NOT considered an error because of the Jr. ommission?

    And why is the 1989 Topps Kirby Puckett only listed at $30?

    I sent him a message with the following;

    "Ken Griffey Jr never played for the Reds until the late 90s, so its also a Wrong Team Error."

    I'm thinking about contacting him to ask if he would take $45 for those two 1990 Topps Nolan Ryan 5000K cards.

    This reminds me of this dude, trying to sell a beat up 1935 National Chicle common for over $2000! At least he has come down from his original asking price of over $3000. Lol. Some people.
